About Kuwaiti Dinar (د.ك)
The Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD, ISO 4217 code 414, symbol د.ك or KD) is the official currency of the State of Kuwait, issued by the Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK, est. 1969). Subdivided into 1,000 fils. Banknotes: 1/4 KD, 1/2 KD, 1 KD, 5 KD, 10 KD, 20 KD (the highest denomination; current 6th series introduced 2014 features Kuwaiti heritage themes — old Kuwaiti houses, the dhow boat, falconry, oil industry, Kuwait Towers); coins: 5 fils, 10 fils, 20 fils, 50 fils, 100 fils (very small denominations, rarely used). KWD is consistently the world's highest-valued currency by face value (~$3.26 per 1 KD as of 2024). KWD is pegged to a weighted basket of major trading-partner currencies (officially undisclosed weights, with USD reported to be ~75% of the basket since the 2007 transition from a pure USD peg). Kuwait holds the world's 6th-largest proven oil reserves (~101 billion barrels) and the Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA) is the world's 4th-oldest sovereign wealth fund (est. 1953, ~$770B AUM).
